I think about how a guy mentally prepared himself to do battle, to go out and face the pitcher. I think so many hitters do not know how to get themselves prepared to play or hit against a pitcher. You have to mentally be prepared to hit against all pitchers.
Consistency is what counts; you have to be able to do things over and over again.
I never smile when I have a bat in my hands. That's when you've got to be serious.
I've tried a lot of things in the off-season, but the only thing I really know is baseball.
